Downtown Ishigaki overnight. Ghostly howls & empty, windswept streets. #Typhoon #BAVI's core is still well offshore. Center will make closest approach to the port around daybreak. #Japan

🇯🇵 Japan’s current geopolitical dilemma can be summed up in one sentence: the decline of your patron is far more lethal than the rise of your rival. For decades, the United States allowed Japan to believe it was the “core asset of the First Island Chain.” But reality, as Reuters bluntly put it is this: To Washington, Japan is not the goal. It’s a tool. A bargaining chip. This truth was written all over the awkward scene between Trump and Takaichi: America cares about U.S.–China relations; Japan cares about whether it can continue to survive between them. And here lies the real danger: China’s rise is structural. America’s decline is structural. Japan’s gamble is fantasy. Japan clings to the belief that: “As long as we behave, obey, and oppose China loudly enough, America will protect us forever.” But the way the U.S. abandoned Afghanistan shows everything: When America withdraws, it does not ask whether you’re an old lover or a new one. It calculates cost. Only cost. What is Japan without the United States? — A country without a real army. — A country constrained by a constitution written by foreigners. — A country whose economic lifeline sits between Washington and Beijing. — A country without an independent coordinate in global politics. In other words: Japan’s ‘tough posture’ is nothing more than borrowed courage. And when the lender weakens, borrowed courage evaporates. The irony is this: Japan fears not China’s strength, but the fact that the future of Asia will no longer orbit around Japan, nor even around the United States, but around China. That’s why Japan is so agitated today: It is not “defending security”; it is resisting the century. So the current reality is: Japan is betting that America will shield it. But the real question is: If the U.S. decides to pull back, what does Japan have to speak to the world with? History? None. Military power? None. Resources? None. Sovereignty? Not even that. Japan’s deepest fear is the one it refuses to name: The U.S. cannot protect Japan forever, and China’s rise cannot be stopped. And the truth Japan fears most is this: Between its past and the coming future, it has run out of exits, yet it’s still trying to soothe itself with fantasies from the wartime era. The world has changed. Japan hasn’t.

Minnesota: Tim Walz raised property taxes 27% to pay for all the empty buildings in downtown Journalist Brookerteejones “This will blow your mind. I'm in downtown Minneapolis, Minnesota, where people who live in this area, their property taxes have went up 20-27%. Why? Because they have to pay for all the empty buildings that are in this downtown. Building after building is empty. Shop after shop. No one's there anymore. The restaurants have closed down. And who's footing the bill? It's the people that live in Minneapolis. They're paying 20- 27% more than to cover the lease on these buildings. The taxpayers are paying for these empty buildings. Why are these buildings empty? Well, one reason why is because Governor Tim Walsh does not require federal employees to go to work here. They're still working from home. Therefore, no one's coming down here to work. Crime has went up in this city because no one's coming to work. Everyone's left. No shops are open, no restaurants are opened. This is what is happening in Minneapolis. It is actually a dying city, and it's very sad. One good thing, though, if you did come to this city, you'd actually save a lot of money because. Because there's nowhere to shop. It's a beautiful city, but it's a dying city. Governor Tim Walz, we dodged a bullet not having him as a VP.” **Quick context: The governor doesn’t have authority over federal workers coming into the office, those building contracts should be terminated. Tim Walz is responsible however for all the businesses closing and the state employees that don’t have to come into work.

NOTHING HAS CHANGED: I spent hours in downtown #Seattle on Saturday to see the illicit activity ebb and flow. This is the first weekend since Mayor Bruce Harrell(Mayor Katie B. Wilson) announced his Downtown Activation Plan to clean up this mess. Most of the action is still concentrated at 3rd Ave & Pike St. near the Ross Store(Ross Dress For Less.) But police emphasis patrols are now scattering drug addicts and dealers to other streets. The vestibules of empty store fronts remain popular spots to do fentanyl. Folks continue to use public transportation(Sound Transit - 🚆 🚈 🚍, King County Metro 🚏) to move stolen merchandise back and forth on to the streets. The black market is thriving and it's a free for all. I also witnessed two men being saved from drug overdoses which is now a daily occurrence in the city. But the most jarring thing I saw was an infant in a crib/stroller, right next to a guy smoking meth. The dad was just standing there with his kid in all this insanity until I approached him. Otherwise, the windows at the former Starbucks(Starbucks) in West Lake Center are now plastered with #Kraken Stanley Cup Playoff run posters. Fans were taking selfies with addicts sitting in the background smoking "blues." Not enough police to keep up with enforcement on the weekends. So who's up for coming out with me on Sunday night to walk the streets? Bring your camera. CM Andrew Lewis(Councilmember Andrew J. Lewis) has a standing offer to come along. Still no response. LOL. His district is a disaster. Once again, nothing has changed in this part of the Emerald City. We are now learning to live this harsh reality. It's being normalized. I'll have another update coming up from 3rd Ave. and Cherry St near City Hall and Little Saigon in the #Chinatown-ID. It's a mess on those streets as well.

November is when the Nibiru Complex will move from the left of the Sun to center in front of the Sun. This allows sunlight to pass directly through the vast Petrol and Debris ridden Dust Cloud, making Nibiru huge like the mythological dragon with 7 heads of yor. The Nibiru Coverup hopes to confuse the public by claiming this is the comet Atlas. Meanwhile the Severe Wobble creates humongous storms and the approaching Nibiru causes EMP outages and plane crashes and SkyFire and SkyGlow occur without explanation. We, the Zetas have predicted that all countries around the world will be forced to declare Martial Law to control panic. This is already in process in the US, where deporting illegal immigrants and cleaning up crime in big cities is in process. We have called this Martial Law on the creep. Nibiru effects will increase steadily up to Pole Shift, planes will increasingly be in danger and there will be edicts to stay off planes. SkyGlow will be most alarming, when massive amounts of Nibiru debris collide simultaneously with the upper atmosphere. The Junta hopes the public will shelter-in-place in their homes, in shock, and not rush into the streets in panic and riot. They do not wish to become babysitters. Mass evacuation will occur as floods and destructive earthquakes make cities unlivable. Migrations will happen in phases, initially as needed due to floods and destruction, then more organized offers to relocate as people learn the truth. ET disclosure will occur during this time, likely within two months, as ZetaTalk has been the original proponent of the Nibiru crossing theory. ➡️ #nibiru #planetx #atlas #earthquake #flood #drought #typhoon #tsunami #wildfire #tornado #volcano #skyfire #disaster #poleshift #aliens #et #ufo #uap #zetatalk #endtimes #apocalypse #dontlookup #martiallaw

📢 LIES!! Donald Trump Has NO Plans To Leave The White House!! The White House Ballroom is a command center for a president who is trying to have dictatorial power. A hardened command center that expands several stories into the ground, and is impenetrable from the outside world including ballistic and drone strikes, is exactly the type of structure that could guarantee his "rule of law" indefinitely. Giving Trump the White House Ballroom is absolutely the last key to establishing long-term power for an authoritarian dictatorial rulership. From the White House Command Center, Trump will be able to issue strikes around the world with executive authority and no checks and balances. Through the building of this infrastructure he will be able to create a new power dynamic that has never been seen in this country... For the first time ever, Donald Trump will be able to use a domestic drone force against the population of the American people. This ballroom is the command center for those new operations. I am the first person in the world to call this out. Charlie Kirk was the first person to be assassinated by a drone on US soil. I have been warning people for the last 7 months that they are building a new domestic apparatus than none of us can defeat. This is why Israel is helping Erika Kirk and Donald Trump. This is why Donald Trump gave Erika Kirk a federal appointment to the USAF BoV. This is why Lindsey Graham is speaking on behalf of Israel. This is Israel's ballroom. Or should we say Israel's Baal Room? The smallest part at the top, will be dual purpose for ceremonial practices... i.e. a temple. The command center underneath will control all of the federally owned and distributed AI, crypto, digital IDs, and autonomous drones from the most secure and sophisticated infrastructure meant to protect the people who are trying to bring down the United States of America. WE ARE BEING SUBVERTED. I keep screaming this from the top of my lungs! No one is listening! If you are reading this, be that person to tell other people what is happening! I worked next to General Abrams about 23 years ago. I was a facilitator for TS calls around the globe with all of the major players and installations. And because I worked for General Abrams, we were the lead installation in the talks. Guess what we talked about... Drones. That was shortly after 9/11. There's so much more that I don't have the space to write in this post, but just know that I will be releasing more over the course of the upcoming weeks. Donald Trump has no plans on leaving the White House. He is making it his home. Donald Trump does not travel outside of his properties if he does not have to. No one will ever tell you that about him. Donald Trump is VERY PRIVATE by nature. If the environment is not tailored to his fitting he does not want to be there and will avoid it. Why do you think he spends so much time in Mar-A-Lago instead of the White House? This is a deep insecurity that is always been inside of Donald. He never fit in, but he always knew how to build spaces to make you come to him. And all of these spaces have made him feel secure because they branded his identity. He is doing exactly the same thing with the White House. This is a command center for Israel, Donald Trump, Erika Kirk, and anyone that decides to help them take down the United States of America. The White House Command Center is literally treason. If this command center is built we will lose our Constitutional rights overnight. If this command center is built, Donald Trump will not leave office. If this command center is built, the Republicans know that they can suspend the 2028 elections. They know that they are losing the information battle, and this command center is their way to solidify their power without needing elections. ⚠️ Lindsey Graham is advocating for it on behalf of Israel, & Donald Trump already guaranteed the end of voting...

The smiles on the children’s faces knowing that they will have food for their Iftar is priceless. But still many have nothing to break their fast with. The Sameer Project continues our “Futorkom Ma’a Sameer Ahla” campaign. This time we provided 100 meals of spiced rice, each bag with enough portions for a family, to al-Qasem displacement camp in Deir Al Balah while another 30 were handed out to people passing by on the streets. Food is not the only thing that is scarce right now in Gaza, so is cash. Liquidity is at an all time low due to the borders being locked down by the occupation and new cash boxes unable to enter, in addition to that is the lack of circulation of money within the markets because there is limited goods available to buy. This is causing the exchange rate to plummet and commissions to withdraw the cash to rise since physical currency is difficult to find. This is hindering our ability to make purchases that require cash to assist people. The 130 Iftar meals cost $490 after a 30% commission. We also provide plates of qatayef, a type of stuffed dessert, that the women in our camp make. They also receive a 30 shekel stipend for their skilled cooking of the ingredients we purchase in the market for around 300 shekels. There are many obstacles that stand in our way to providing aid right now. The bombing, displacements, and even the availability of physical monies. But we will not stop and our team is quite literally working around the clock to find solutions. Support our Ramadan campaign until the end of the month. Or other options include: (Paypal option, please make sure to add a message saying "Ramadan") (Venmo option, please make sure to add a message saying "Ramadan")

This is the opinion of someone who understands the situation well and how the war in Ukraine is likely to develop - Mariia Berlinska, the head of the Aerial Reconnaissance Support Center. Russia will intensify its aerial terror. We need to prepare for this, and we have almost no time. The Russians will definitely increase the warhead weight of the Shahed drones. It will be increased to several hundred kilograms in order to terrorize cities located at a distance of, say, 30-50-100 kilometers from the front line. Soon we will see autonomous robots. These are even more dangerous than Shaheds. These are systems that are not controlled by humans and will be invulnerable to classic means of electronic warfare or, for example, taking out crews. Right now, the question is not if but when the Russians start manufacturing thousands of them. Imagine the psychological state of people when they go out somewhere on the street in the city and hundreds of Russian drones are circling above the squares and streets, which at any moment can drop something, crash into something, and so on. Watch the video from the post below. There is also good news. It is still possible to prepare for this. It is necessary to deploy comprehensive air defense systems now, including automatic turrets, interceptor drones, and, in the long term, laser weapons, certain samples of electromagnetic weapons, and certain groups that would shoot down targets using various means, as well as certain nets over certain objects. There will be no apocalypse if we prepare ourselves. ‼️ For its own security, it is very important for Europe to be part of this modern defense system and to gain this experience. I hope everyone remembers the Russian reconnaissance drones flying over European countries. Unfortunately, this is only the beginning if we do not counteract them.
